Compulsory Acquisition

Compulsory acquisition of land can be a very stressful experience. Let us act for you to obtain the maximum compensation if your land or business is being acquired by the Government.

All persons who have an interest in land have a right to a claim – that includes owners, tenants and even those who have other interests such as an easement over land. In order to obtain the best outcome, it is essential to get advice on compulsory acquisition before the acquisition happens.

The Issues

Think of it like an agent coming in to force the sale of your home, it is prudent to ensure it is presented in the best possible way. We will review your business and assist you in working out what we can do before the acquisition. We will engage the best experts for your case as we have close working relationships with forensic accountants and barristers who specialise in this field.

The Process

Where appropriate, we can obtain assistance for you to engage a representative to locate new premises for you and claim their fees as part of the process.

Our legal fees are also covered and you will not have to incur the costs yourself.
